I think I've found one of these in some bits that were a mates. Does anyone have a picture of one and are they worth anything?
They are a 3/4 metal tube about 10mm diameter and about 12mm long (these dimensions are from memeory)
The cut "ends" are bent in to form a pair of horizontal "lugs" at the bottom which slide along the foresight grooves.
These sight hoods are pretty rare.
Stick it on that auction site - you might be surprised what some people will pay for a small piece of bent metal

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Some photo's, and the dimensions are.

Yes that looks like the one, mines got a small U shaped cutout on the top!
Thanks for the replies, I'll probably sell it together with the rearsight I've got for one of these.
